tinzanoid

how you set up your speedlink controller? I have SL-6566-BK xeox pro analog gamepad-wireless-black, retropie detected it but when i press&hold A to set up nothing happened.. please help

Retropie v4.14.30
*Power source: 5v 2.5A
Raspberry 3 B+

SOLVED:

Set controller to Directinput
Turn on controller to pairing mode
Plug in receiver while retropie is booting

mitu

Does the controller respond to jstest ? How is the controller configured - XInput or DirectInput ?

tinzanoid

@mitu yes,
configured in Xinput

mitu

To actually test the controller, you need to run

jstest /dev/input/js0

and then press the buttons/joystick axis to see if they get detected. To interrupt the test, press Ctrl+C.

@mitu sorry im newbie

Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (Microsoft X-Box 360 pad) has 6 axes (X, Y, Rx, Ry, Hat0X, Hat0Y)
and 13 buttons (BtnA, BtnB, BtnX, BtnY, BtnTL, BtnTR, BtnTL2, BtnTR2, BtnSelect, BtnStart, BtnMode, BtnThumbL, BtnThumbR).
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Axes:  0:     0  1:     0  2:     0  3:     0  4:     0  5:     0 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off  8:off  9:off 10:off 11:off 1Axes:  0:     0  1:     0  2:     0  3:     0  4:     0  5:     0 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off  8:off  9:off 10:off 11:off 1Axes:  0:     0  1:     0  2:     0  3:     0  4:     0  5:     0 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off  8:off  9:off 10:off 11:off 1Axes:  0:     0  1:     0  2:     0  3:     0  4:     0  5:     0 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off  8:off

@tinzanoid There's not use to paste the output - just test the buttons and see if the values reported change on the screen.

tinzanoid

@mitu im doing right? im using ssh on raspberry..semse like button output not changing from off

mitu

@tinzanoid If the buttons are not changing while you press then, then it means they're not detected by the OS - hence why Emulationstation cannot configure your controller.
Try switching the controller to DInput and see if it makes a difference, otherwise it means the controller is simply not working on Linux.

@mitu i tried same output not changing..any driver require to install to make it work?controller receiver detected by OS
its say's 1 gamepad detected

tinzanoid

@mitu i gave

for dev in /dev/input/js*; do udevadm info --name $dev; done
